Suzuki Great Britain has launched a new Girl Torque motorcycling for women initiative. Starting with a new web resource, the initiative is about getting girls into motorcycling, and hopefully on a new Suzuki bike while they’re at it. The website has info for current female motorcyclists, as well as those interested in trying their first motorcycle experience.

Information includes stuff like clothing, maintenance and female-only track days, the first of which is at Donington Park to launch the Girl Torque project. There are some great tips including everything from riding styles to how to choose the right pair of gloves for you. Check it all out on the Girl Torque website.

Maria Costello has been the fastest woman on a bike at the Tourist Trophy for the last five years and she’s going back to the Isle of Man for the 2010 TT on a BMW S1000RR. BMW is at the TT with its new superbike, and Costello will ride it in the Superstock, Superbike and Senior races.

It could prove the perfect vehicle for Costello to keep her fastest lap record again in 2010, with the support of Wollaston BMW and sponsor Tony Morris. Costello has plenty of success to her name, being the first woman ever to claim a podium place at the TT, and has even been awarded an MBE, conferred in autumn last year by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace. For more details see Maria’s website, costelloracing.com.
